So, I decided to come back and pay my blog a little visit after a long absence.No, I have not been ill nor died, nor been lazy.I have been pretty busy actually: living my life as a wife, mother, soon-to-be grandmother, runner, artist, volunteer.

I looked for gallery representation locally and was accepted right away by my favorite place, I might add, more about this later.Now a few pictures of work done during this long hiatus.

This blog is going to hibernate. I need time to work without thinking about blogging, without spending precious moments checking blogs, even the ones I dearly like and enjoy. Occasionally I will visit here and there and perhaps even leave a comment but basically I will stick my head down and concentrate on my own artwork.Also my volunteer work is extremely important to me and must take precedence always over time spent online.. Pinterest and Tumblr remain areas of interest to me and therefore I will tend to them with affection:)On another topic we came back from Florida yesterday with hardware well deserved in my estimation.Steve got a silver in the 5k but had to scratch the track events due to his achilles problem. As for me, 4 events, 4 gold medals in the 5k, 400m, 800m and the 1500m events. After my toe fracture this summer followed by a persistent inflammation in the toes of that same foot I was able to run well and give it my very best. God is good. Indeed. I am humbled.

Frustrated because I have tons of paperwork (mostly filing things that have accumulated over the past 6 months or so) to do before I will allow myself to go back to my art work. I HATE piles of papers!So I am posting works that I did a while ago and that were already posted somewhere else like Flickr for instance.Also I am training a lot these days for races (5k and several track events) in Florida at the beginning of December. Because of a foot fracture in June I could not qualify for next year's Nationalshere in New Mexico so I have to travel to Florida to do that.........

.....is a good day to post these 2 little paintings. I thought that I had posted them before but no:) An easy explanation: they were posted on my other sites.

Mixed Media on khadi paper

Mixed Media on khadi paper

I had drawn shapes on gampi paper (extremely fine paper). I used some of these to collage onto the khadi substrate. Once dried they almost appear as if the shapes are drawn directly on the khadi. I really like that process which enables me to play with the placement of these shapes prior to gluing them.I also drew directly on the paper.Mostly watercolors were used.
